    Depends on your tolerance for jank.

    If you want it perfect it’s at minimum a dent pull and panel spray.

    If it’s an older car (I can’t tell) and you aren’t too fussed but just don’t want it to rot then it could be pulled and the chipped paint simply sealed with a touch up and clear coat blend, sanded and machine polished.

    But it’s never going to A1 that second way.

    Could as a PDR person and touch up the cracks if your low on cash. But it’ll be tough for pdr with the crease

      I agree, worth the effort before spending $1000+ to replace the whole back piece. Unless you want it to look new new.

    I’d go with a PDR specialist. I will cost a few hundred $ and paint will need to be restored but the panel should come back to original shape.

    Go to a junkyard, look for the same car and replace the whole door. Shouldn’t be too hard, especially given Mazda’s don’t change that much every year so you could probably look for a range or model years that could have the same part

    Nope , not at all, impossible…happy to be of help

    And also…let’s stop this trend of people who are happy wanting to learn car enthusiasts asking about repairs for themselves or a body shop when

    CALL YOUR FUCKING INSURANCE!!!

    These days of fix it yourself don’t exist unless you have an older car and don’t own money. Wake up count chocolatela, it’s a new day

    Take the boot lining out, grab a metal working hammer, and hit it from the inside, won’t fully fix it, but will make it look a bit better

    Sorry but no even it was it’s to close to the emblem and you don’t have enough room to expand the frame because of the top ridge if that makes sense

    For a shop that has experience in repairing dents? Yes. For someone who’s never fixed a dent before. Not even remotely.
